About Real GOP Illinois

Real GOP Illinois is an independent news source for real Republicans, conservatives, and independents in Illinois. We will provide the news and opinion that is absent from the mainstream media. We will provide the truth when everyone else refuses to.
As voters, we believe that the political establishment of both parties is fundamentally corrupt and incapable of acting in the best interests of the public. If Illinois media were not so compromised, they would be reporting on the corruption that is a clear and present threat to our state.
We, the real Republican voters of Illinois, will stand up for the GOP platform. We will act as a watchdog whenever we see abuse of power.
We ask our fellow Republicans and independents to join us.
